Hey y’all and welcome to Sewspire!
I am so excited to share this fabulous bi fold wallet sewing tutorial with you as I have been yearning to design a wallet like this for many years! As an added bonus I have also created a 60 Page PDF Tutorial for this style that you can purchase from my Etsy shop and download instantly to your computer for future reference:

Like all of my PDF tutorials this one is geared especially for the visual learner. To ensure your sewing success, I have included lots of photographs and illustrations to guide you step by step through the design process. If you have any questions, about the video or PDF versions of the tutorial please feel free to comment below or reach out via email: [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I hope you enjoy the project and will share photos of your finished wallets with me on the group Facebook page:
